.Co close to 200,000 registrations

Columbia’s .co ccTLD, which opened up for public registration yesterday, has gone from 39,000 registrations to more than 194,576– in just under 48 hours. This is very good considering there is no clear idea of how much .co names are worth and registrations cost around £25 a pop.

Previously, Columbia only allowed second-level registrations on .com.co, .org.co, etc. It’s one of many countries in recent years to open up their domains to outside investors.
